Product description：
Echinacea Purpurea Extract is derived from the high-quality Echinacea purpurea plants. These plants are carefully cultivated in well-controlled environments to ensure optimal growth and the accumulation of beneficial compounds. The extraction process begins with the selection of mature Echinacea purpurea parts, mainly the roots, leaves, and flowers. Using advanced extraction techniques, we extract the active ingredients from the plants. We typically employ a combination of solvent extraction methods, such as using ethanol or water, to obtain a concentrated and pure extract. The extraction conditions, including temperature, time, and solvent ratio, are precisely controlled to maximize the yield and quality of the extract.
- Polyphenols: Echinacea Purpurea Extract is rich in polyphenol compounds, such as cichoric acid and chlorogenic acid. These polyphenols possess strong antioxidant properties, which can help neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Alkamides: Alkamides are another important group of components in the extract. They are known to have immunomodulatory effects, stimulating the body's immune system and enhancing its ability to fight off infections and diseases.
- Polysaccharides: The extract contains polysaccharides that play a crucial role in immune regulation. They can activate immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes, and enhance the body's overall immune response.
- Flavonoids: Flavonoids like quercetin and rutin are present in Echinacea Purpurea Extract. These compounds contribute to the extract's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and may also have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health.
